Please think of the companies! Won't anyone think of the poor profit motive?!

Is degroth individual or government driven? If it's individual, I'm all for it. If it's government, I think there are more effective ways of helping the environment than telling businesses to not make money.

Yes individual actions are the best and most effective way to deal with collective problems.

Obviously companies making money has no impact on the environment either
